Cathy Davey and pals return with their four-legged creatures to My Lovely Ranch, with a first-time visit to the Picnic for a new herd of goats. Franky Fingers the greyhound and Deputy Henry Hell the three-legged Jack Russell are both leads for The Rolling Stoners, whose new video release can be seen. The area will host Silent Discos each evening and a stage hewn of hay bales for acoustic performances – including, we suspect, Neil Hannon’s annual appearance.

Acts already set to play as part of the Electric Picnic 2017 line-up in Stradbally this September include: The XX, A Tribe Called Quest, Duran Duran, Pete Tong, Chaka Kahn, Father John Misty, London Grammer, Mano Le Tough, Madness, Run The Jewels, The Divine Comedy, Annie Mac, the Pretenders, Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Pond, Perfume Genius and more.

Electric Picnic 2017 will take place in Stradbally Hall, County Laois from Friday, September 1st to Sunday, September 3rd.
